Spurs are very strong.
They have the right mix of youth and veteran players. Duncan,
Ginobili, Tony Parker, Horry, Bowen. On top of that, they've added
Michael Finley and Nick Van Axel.
I believe the Pistons will be the closest team to challenge the
Spurs again because of their tough defence.
I support the Miami Heat in the East and LA Lakers in the
West.
Miami will have a good shot at dethroning Detroit if Shaq stays
fit.
As for the Lakers, sad to say, they've lost the plot. As great a
player as Kobe is, no one player can win the title by himself. He
needs supporting role players around him. At the moment, it's still
just one man Kobe show.
